  24       <div class="date">12th September 2012</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, <a href="http://www.ietf.org/">IETF</a> announced the
  26 publication of of
  27 <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716">RFC 6716, the Definition
  28 of the Opus Audio Codec</a>, a low latency, variable bandwidth, codec
  29 intended for both VoIP, film and music.  This is the first time, as
  30 far as I know, that IETF have standardized a multimedia codec.  In
  31 <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3533">RFC 3533</a>, IETF
  32 standardized the OGG container format, and it has proven to be a great
  33 royalty free container for audio, video and movies.  I hope IETF will
  34 continue to standardize more royalty free codeces, after ISO and MPEG
  35 have proven incapable of securing everyone equal rights to publish
  36 multimedia content on the Internet.</p>
  37
  38 <p>IETF require two interoperating independent implementations to
  39 ratify a standard, and have so far ensured to only standardize royalty
  40 free specifications.  Both are key factors to allow everyone (rich and
  41 poor), to compete on equal terms on the Internet.</p>
  42
  43 <p>Visit the <a href="http://opus-codec.org/">Opus project page</a> if
  44 you want to learn more about the solution.</p>
